Ways to celebrate St. Patrick's Day that don't involve a pub

Here's a list that can make St. Patrick's Day fun without ever darkening the doorstep of your local.

1. Curl up at home and rent 'The Quiet Man.'

Simply the best Irish movie for St. Patrick's Day ever made. By the end you'll be ready to move to Connemara yourself. 2. Cook bacon (or as it known stateside, corned beef) and cabbage for you and your beloved.

When they came off the ships, bacon and cabbage was the staple diet of the shanty Irish. Tasted good then and as good now.
